Entry 2.2: The Dark Magician & The Altruist
Upon taking this archetype assessment, it was concluded that my main archetype is the Altruist ( CareGiver ), and my negative archetype was a Dark Magician. I love this picture to describe a Dark Magician and an Altruist... even though it is something else, it really speaks to me. The Altruist, being the woman in white, can describe her light side; someone who cares for others more than herself. The Dark Magician looks innocent but she is very evil with no feelings for anyone but herself, and her conquest to make changes that are for her only.
I can understand being an Altruist because sometimes I do help others when they are in a time of need. I love to make people feel better when they need someone or something. I am a very deep person, and can hardly ever turn down a sad face. I guess I get it from my father. The Dark Magician kind of surprised me, being that I don't see myself as being such a bad person or someone who wants to make changes for themselves. Since they are described as someone who is selfish, it would completely contradict my being an Altruist. After figuring this out, I see some more research is going to be needed to figure out what this all means.
The reason I chose this image is because, one, I love fantasy art and two, this image shows two completely opposite women with different outlooks on life, and they are drawn perfectly to describe my two opposite archetypes.
This image definitely helps with the contradiction of my findings... What do you think ?
